Profile:
Not often does one find a youngster blessed with that rare
combination of natural talent and a burning desire to excel.
Parthiv Patel is one such gifted wicket-keeper/batsman, hailing
from one of the lesser-known cricketing cities in India Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Patel took to cricket at the age of nine, enthralled by Ian
Healy's work behind the stumps. Around six years later, against
Maharashtra in the under-16 West Zone encounter, Patel made 101
out of Gujarat's total of 196 - that too at the top of the order.
Following on, Gujarat made 297 for five to draw the match;
Patel's contribution was an unbeaten 201.
Patel's sharp eye for the finer details of his work and his
analytical abilities led West Zone selectors to entrust him with
the captaincy in the under-19 match against the visiting English
colts. Patel also led the Indian under-17 victorious campaign in
the Asia Cup at Dhaka. At the young age of 17, Patel was then
named to lead the Indian team in the junior (under-19) World Cup
in New Zealand.
Patel had a stint with the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in
Bangalore before the prestigious Border-Gavaskar scholarship took
him to the much-lauded Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy in
Adelaide. After showing promise in the recent India 'A' tours of
South Africa and Sri Lanka, Patel forced his way into the
national squad as deputy to Ajay Ratra for the Test series in
England in mid-2002. (Santhosh S)
